The Russian Knights team is arriving in Bahrain on Sunday and will display its skills in a Russian Air Force’s new show on board four Russian Sukhoi jetfighters during the Bahrain International Air Show 2012.
The display is part of Bahrain International Airshow 2012 which will be hosted by the kingdom from January 19 to 21.

322 Bell 212 Royal Bahraini Air Force 3 Sqn c/n plate shows 'Serial 066'
336 Sikorsky S-70 UH-60M 70.3147 Royal Bahraini Air Force 3 Sqn c/n plate checked, ex 07-27121, mfg Aug-2008
Great check for the c/ns.
Serial 066 could very well be former IsraelianAF 066 with c/n 32253.
This was for sale, last noted may08 ,and 322 for Bahrain was 1st noted in 2009.
Guess this went via a 3rd party as i don't think they have direct lines between Israel and Bahrain.
